‘Zine scene

June 19, 2013

When I came back from the US, two beautiful packages were waiting for me. (The world is shrinking…)

First were two ‘zines by Joanna Tagada, a French artist, based in Berlin. She shares paintings, drawings, sewing, photographs and poems. The mood is subtle, graceful and deep. She takes us on a tour of her private studio, through photos recording a place that no longer exists. I love the idea of permanently recording a temporary space, so romantic. What are your creative spaces, now or in the past?

The other ‘zine, The Way Home by Sewon, is about her move to and from New York City this last year. It makes me think about the moving process–the moves I’ve made and plan to make… It reminds me so much of my friend Katie, who will be moving to New York soon.

I feel like a gallery exhibit was delivered to me in the mail… I think I’m officially addicted. I’m so fascinated now by alternative publishing. Doesn’t it make you want to create your own ‘zine? What would yours look like?

hola to madrid!!! 😀 so glad you are having a great tripp… can’t wait to hear more about it!
so normal to worry about future changes– but you are gonna do great and everything will work out in time… you conquered the dissertation and wedding and job hunt wioth flying colors! take time to congratulate yourself on all that you accomplished… ❤

oh I SO want to make my own zine!! i need to take a lot more photos to figure out what i would want to put… I am not sure what my theme would be! maybe this is like “a blog in search of being a zine” haha

Superb site you have here but I was curious if you knew of any forums that cover the same topics discussed
in this article? I’d really like to be a part of community where I
can get feed-back from other knowledgeable individuals that share
the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
Cheers!
